Panerai pays homage to the first Radiomir 1940 and created two special edition wristwatches launched at SIHH in 2012. The two versions are distinguished by the different material of the case. PAM00398 Radiomir 1940 Oro Rosso is cased in pink gold featuring a brown dial and PAM00399 Radiomir 1940 Acciao is cased in stainless steel. The most distinctive feature of these watches is the lugs; instead of being made of steel wires, the lugs are formed directly from the same block of precious metal or steel as the case, making it more resistant under extreme conditions. The two Radiomir 1940 models are limited to 100 pieces only with the first 50 available in pairs, presented together in an exclusive wooden presentation box. The present set is numbered 29 and is offered in unused condition.
